Motor City Makeover at Emerald Gardens Morningside

On May 10th, we hosted a tremendously successful Motor City Makeover event at Emerald Gardens in Morningside. The atmosphere was filled with enthusiasm as a diverse group of volunteers came together to breathe new life into our community. Among them were long-time residents who have watched these gardens evolve over the years, new neighbors eager to make a positive impact, and former residents who returned to lend a helping hand. Together, we tackled the task at hand with determination, pulling stubborn weeds and clearing away the leftover debris that had accumulated over the harsh winter months. The sight of our volunteers—each one rolling up their sleeves and working side by side— was truly heartwarming. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, the gardens are beginning to blossom once more, slowly reclaiming their former beauty and charm. I am genuinely grateful to everyone who took the time out of their busy schedules to join us in this endeavor. Your efforts are invaluable in making our community more picturesque and enjoyable for everyone.

If you’re inspired by our recent efforts and wish to get involved, please don’t hesitate to contact me at (313) 929-3980. We will be hosting Volunteer Saturdays on the first Saturday of each month, with the next gathering set for June 7th. Remember, when you help, you’ll also get to partake in the bountiful harvest!
